“Absolute Monarchy”
Monarch has complete authority as head of state and head of government
Expected to have same religious beliefs as their ruler
“disloyal” if otherwise
Witch craftSalem Witch Trials of 1692
Many people claimed to be witches as well as many people accused of witchcraft
the rich was most accused
Often prosecuted and hanged
Salem Covenants of 1629 & 1636
Devoting one’s life to serving God
Simple doctrine of the fundamentals of starting one’s religious journey
A promise to avoid evil and follow His rules
If you please God, He will take care of the rest leaving you with no misfortunes
Positive, uplifting tone
Compared to...
21st Century; Bush’s “History’s Unmarked Grave of Discarded Lies”
setting boundaries for war
No longer about following God, but now there is constant war between races, religions, countries
Dynamic of religion has completely changed
Tone changes to negative and dark, the theme is now war instead of peace
The Baptist’s Confession of 1644
Rejected the notion of eternal generation of the Son
Stated “the terrors of the law were not needed to do what the gospel alone has the power to do”
Written in order to influence more professions of faith and to reveal the identity of other religions
Same idea of uplifting tone and the theme of being united
Compared To...
Dr. Michael Kerze’s speech of “The Role of Religion in the 21st Century”
Catholic by birth however, speaks as a Buddhist
Now, there is much confusion and tension between religions whereas before, religions were simple defining their beliefs
Change in Roles
Religion was of great importance of the 1600’s
Documents covered simple promises and guidelines of how to live
Religious speeches and documents now are much more complicated covering war guidelines and allowing confusion between religions

I found this website very helpful because it provided both Salem Covenants and an analysis of their importance and why they were written. This is a reliable source because I found it on Salem State University’s webpage therefore the information is valid and can be trusted.
"Covenants.html." Index. Web. 15 Mar. 2012. <http://www.constitution.org/primarysources/covenants.html>.
This source is another which provides more in-depth analysis of the Salem Covenants. I found it very useful because it also provided other important religious documents of that time period that were significant and compared them to the Salem Covenants.

This is part Dr. K’s speech. I find this source reliable because it states religious facts and is part of “The Living Dharma.” This source helped me analyze his speech and his position on his religious beliefs.
